WARMING UP
All service and maintenance
should be done on a rm, level
surface.
It is recommended always to warm
up the engine before driving in or-
der to maintain the durability of the
engine and prevent malfunction of
the engine. Before warming up the
engine, make sure that each part in
the engine is properly lubricated and
each hydraulic part is in a perfect
condition in order to prevent mal-
function in the engine as well as the
hydraulic system.
How to warm up engine is as follow-
ings;
1. Start the engine and run it at a low
speed and without load for approx.
3 to 4 minutes.
2. In c old weather, increase the
warming up time to 10 minutes.
3. If it is very cold, warm up the en-
gine for approx. 15 minutes.
4. The engine throttle can be open
for 50 % in order to shorten the
warming up time.
5.The engine is sufciently warmed
up when the temperature gauge on
the instrument panel indicates 1/4
of the normal temperature range,
regardless of the warming-up time.
6. Do not increase the work load rap-
idly after starting work.
7. Run the engine without load for
approx. 2 to 3 minutes before stop-
ping the engine after work.
Warming up the engine exces-
sively increases fuel consump-
tion and affects the durability
of the tractor negatively.
Never warm up the engine and
leave the tractor for an extend-
ed period of time. It can cause
re and an accident.
